So many things are possible here at Converse. It’s not surprising, given our rich history of enabling students “to see clearly, decide wisely and act justly”. Our community has an energetic commitment to being creative and collaborative in every pursuit, and that means emphasizing experiential learning through internships, student research, leadership development, community service, and study-travel. It means facilitating a more nuanced and broader worldview, and not just through interdisciplinary classes; more than half of our students double major.

Voice. Value. Vision. is also about empowerment. Undergraduate students in our women’s college benefit from well-documented advantages of single-gender education. Graduate students in our co-ed Master's programs gain expertise and hands-on experience that propel them to the pinnacle of their professions.

Converse couples room to think and grow – in an environment where opinions are valued and sought after – with strong academic programs in the arts and sciences, an uncommonly low undergraduate student–faculty ratio of 11:1 and plenty of opportunity for student-faculty collaboration and research. It’s why U.S.News & World Report,Washington Monthly and others rank Converse among the best colleges in the nation.
